I-Minusinsk engxenyeni yindawo yokugcina yembali yaseSiberia.

I-Minusinsk ephazamisayo, ebizwa ngokuba yi-depress depression, itholakala kumda weKhakassia kunye neKrasnoyarsk Territory. Kujikeleze intlambo kukho iintaba zeentaba. Imijelo yalo esezantsi kunye nentshona-ntshona yenziwe ngeenkqubo zeentaba ze-Western Sayan. Amacandelo omntla-ntshona kunye nentshonalanga yomgcini "agcinwe" yi-Abakan range, kwaye empuma iVos Ecacileyo Sayan. Inkunkuma yaseMinusinsk yafunyanwa kuphela ukusuka ngasenyakatho, apho i-West Siberian Plain ilula. Imifula emikhulu Abakan, Yenisei, Chulym kunye neTuba zijika umlambo weentaba zibe ngumhlaba oluhlaza kwaye ovundileyo. Ngaphandle kwindunduma ezisempuma yebhasin kukho ihlathi elihle lepine.

I-Minusinsk edibeneyo idume ngegadi zayo, eyasungulwa yi-Decembrist Krasnokutsky. Omnye u-Decembrist ogama linguKrivtsov kwileta ebizwa ngokuba yi-Italia yase-Siberia. Igama elinjalo lehlathi lebhasinini alizange liyize-uhlobo olujikeleze iMinusinsk luhluke kakhulu kwaye lucebile. Ummandla waseKrasnoyarsk ugcwele amachibi ahlambulukileyo ajikelezwe yimifula nemipopporri kunye nemifula enentaba. Izitroba ezizityebi zihamba kunye neentyuwa zetyuwa kunye neentsiba zentyatyambo, kwaye phakathi kweentaba zifihla izilwanyana ezinqabileyo, eziqhumisayo ngamakhulu emifuno kunye neentyantyambo. Ingxenye yeentaba ezijikelezileyo ihlanganiswe ne-taiga yasendle, esityebi kungekhona nje ngomthi, kodwa kunye nexabiso elixabisekileyo leemabula.

Ukongeza kwiindawo ezintle, i-Minusinsk evulekileyo igcwele imbali. Nangoku ngoku i-archaeologists ifumanisa imimandla yeepochs ezahlukahlukeneyo, ngokuqala ngePaleolithic kwaye iphele ngeMinyaka Ephakathi. Izizwe ezahlukahlukeneyo kunye neenkcubeko zashiya "imichilo" ngendlela yamangcwaba kunye namangcwaba angaphambili okungcwatywa, amaxaka asezidolophini kunye neendawo zokuhlala, ubugcisa beedombo, izityekiso zamatye kunye nezidalwa zezidalwa ezingaziwa. Imizobo yezilwanyana zamatye yayinomdla ngokukhethekileyo kwenzululwazi. Yayizi ziqulatho zobugcisa basendulo ezazibethelela abavubukuli bokuqala eSiberia.

Isithili saseMinusinsk sasigcwele ezo zixhobo. Amanye amanani, aqoshwe kwi-granite okanye i-sandstone, ibonakala ngathi i-steles edibeneyo, ezinye zimelela izikhululo eziphezulu Ukuphakama. Ingqwalasela ekhethekileyo ibhekiswe kwiqela le-stelae kunye nezilwanyana, eziphathekayo ezineentloko. Ukusuka kweli qela limila i-stele, ebizwa ngokuba yi "Shirinskaya Baba". Ifana ne-totem yangaphambili, kwindawo apho ubuso bomntu-lwanyana, obunokubongwa kwangaphambili, kubonwe. Ngaphantsi kwesiqubuthelo yimbumbulu enqamlekileyo yerhamncwa lasendle, kwaye ngaphezu kwayo ungabona ubuso bomntu obufezekileyo. Yonke inye into ehambelanayo kwaye engaqondakaliyo, imfihlakalo engekabonakalwanga. Izazinzulu zisanda kuqalisa ukutyhila iimfihlelo zedolo lasendulo. Ngabo-1960 kuphela iimbali-mlando zakha ukuba zonke i-Yenisei stelae zazivezwe zizizwe zenkcubeko ye-Okunevo, eyayizuze ilifa legama le-Okunevsky ulus, kufuphi nelokuphandwa.

Umnyango weMinusinsk ugcina imbali yabantu abangaphandle kuphela. Ndanduluka ngapha nangapha kunye ne-Genghis Khan, ndishiye umkhondo weengqaba ezitshiswayo kunye nezixeko ezichithekileyo. Bafumana izazinzulu kunye neendlela zokudlulela kwiindawo zakudala, apho iinqanawa ezivela kwi-Asia ephakathi, iArabia, iTibet kunye neChina zahamba. Iimbali-mlando ezingaphezulu kwekhulu leminyaka kunye nabadala bezinto zakudala baye baxazulula iingcamango kunye nokubuyisela imbali yale ngqungqutshane yasemhlabeni kwiplanethi.
